Off The Glass Taps Racquet Sports Leader Brock Orlowski to Expand Padel at U.S. Country Clubs

As padel continues to expand across the United States, country clubs could play an important role in the sport's next phase of growth.

Indiana-based padel court manufacturer Off The Glass has brought on Brock Orlowski, Director of Racquet Sports at Fort Wayne Country Club, in an advisory role focused on increasing padel adoption at private clubs nationwide.

Orlowski brings extensive experience in the racquet sports industry. He currently serves on the RSPA Midwest board and has twice been named Indiana Professional of the Year, most recently in 2026.

According to estimates shared by Off The Glass, there are approximately 4,000 private golf and country clubs in the United States, representing more than two million members. However, only around 1% currently offer padel, highlighting a significant opportunity for the sport's expansion.

"This is about growing the game, and highlighting the opportunity with padel that exists for America's large country club sector," said Orlowski. "I've watched first hand how tennis and then pickleball reshaped club life, and there's no doubt to me that padel is the next phase."

Off The Glass manufactures its padel courts domestically, including steel and glass components, and sees country clubs as a key market for long-term growth.

The partnership reflects a broader opportunity for padel to follow in the footsteps of pickleball, with established country clubs providing access to existing racquet sports communities and infrastructure as the sport looks to build its presence across the country.
